• Strong understanding of ELS managers and fund structures, ideally with global coverage
• Excellent relationship-building skills and ability to engage credibly with investment professionals
• Entrepreneurial mindset and a genuine interest in the buy-side investment process
• Quantitative or analytical background a plus but not essential
